Q:Discussion Question 2
The Information Age has made it easier to find information and also easier to plagiarize. For example, copying and pasting entire sections of written content or pictures from Web sites and the University Library is unacceptable because it does not represent your own work. Pasting a link to a Web site in an assignment post, however, and describing how it relates to your assignment response is not plagiarism. Putting your name on another studentÂ’s homework is considered dishonest, but brainstorming with a classmate to identify main concepts to cover in an individually-completed assignment response is not dishonest.

If you need to refer to any written or visual work other than your own, be sure to provide the name of the original author along with the related content and the title of the work. When referring to an electronic source, provide the Web link.
• Post your response to the following: What are other ways in which you can make use of the wealth of Web-based information and still guard against plagiarism?
